Toyota/Lexus Introduces Autonomous Level 2 Driving System

Toyota/Lexus released information on the www.pressroom.toyota.com website about the Teammate® advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology that debuts on select 2022 Lexus LS 500H models which should be in U.S. dealerships in the fall.

  • Integrated navigation to allow planning for the road ahead
  • Learning functions for adaptability to different driving scenarios
  • Redundant systems for reliability and safety
  • Lane changes
  • Merging and passing
  • Over-the-air software updates for the addition of new features
